[Use of botulinum toxin in urology].
Botulinum toxin has been used in urology for more than 20 years. Its application, however, has been restricted to merely a few indications because of the lackof approval. Most studies available have focused on disturbed detrusor-sphincter synergy and overactive bladder. Results of a placebo-controlled study on overactive bladder have now been published. Further studies relevant to the approval of botulinum toxin are being conducted. This substance has also been successful in several other urologic indications.
